Detailed Information
IGCSE Physics is a Cambridge science exam covering mechanics, thermal physics, waves, electricity and magnetism, and atomic and nuclear physics. Both theoretical knowledge and experimental skills are assessed. Paper 2 (Core MCQ) or Paper 4 (Extended theory), Paper 3 (Core structured) or Paper 6 (Alternative to Practical) contain experiment design and data analysis questions.
Success in IGCSE Physics requires conceptual understanding and graph interpretation skills beyond formula application. Unit conversions, significant figures and experimental error analysis are practical skills frequently assessed in exams. TestPrep Physics tutors teach strategic approaches for Paper 4 calculation questions and Paper 6 experimental questions. Skills including circuit diagram drawing, graph creation and gradient calculation are reinforced through regular practice.
CIE 0625: Paper 2 (MCQ) + Paper 4 (Extended structured) + either Paper 6 (alternative to practical) or Paper 5 (practical lab).
Typically ~85% raw. Examiner reports show students lose most marks on units, formulas and graphical analysis.
IGCSE Math (Extended) running alongside. Comfort with rearranging formulas, ratio, indices and basic algebra is required.
IGCSE Extended is the foundation for A-Level Year 12. Vector/scalar, force and energy concepts carry directly into AS.

Practical-skills written paper
Processing given data, drawing graphs, gradients/intercepts, discussing uncertainty.
Spring constant, pendulum, Ohm's law, light refraction — IGCSE's most-tested experiments.
SI units, prefixes, significant figures — the most common loss point in examiner reports.
Best-fit lines, error bars, gradient calculations.
Build physical intuition before formulas.
CIE 0625 papers with markschemes.
Systematic data/graph/uncertainty practice for Paper 6.
Units, formula, calculation, conceptual errors categorized.

FAQ
Depends on your school's lab facility. Paper 6 (alternative) is more common since no lab is required. Marks are equivalent.
Some core ones are given; many must be memorized. e.g. v=u+at is provided, P=Fv must be recalled.
IGCSE Physics A* + IGCSE Math A* + IGCSE Additional Math A* is a typical engineering profile. A-Levels are still required.
Through Year 10-11, 1-1.5 hrs/week (50-80 hrs total) is typical.

Chihiro Nishimura
As the exam got closer, I wasn't sure what I should actually review. During the intensive review, we returned to real gaps instead of restarting everything. Separating calculation errors from content gaps made revision more useful. I started tracking the type of mistake, not just the number of questions I completed. Focusing on past papers and mock review worked well near the exam. I was really happy with the lessons.
Yaren Kartal
The plan was adjusted when school exams became busy. Mistakes became something to work on rather than something to feel bad about. We would recommend the program to students and families in a similar situation.
Leonor Simoes
Separating calculation errors from content gaps made revision more useful. A big thank you to my tutor for all the support :)
Riley Raines
Having the lesson move at my pace made the process feel much easier. Over time, IGCSE Physics became one of the most organized parts of my IGCSE / GCSE preparation. After a while, the questions started to feel much more familiar. Thanks to TestPrep for helping me stay on track.
Andrea Neri
After each test, we looked beyond the score and reviewed the type of each mistake. I finally understood what was going wrong in IGCSE Physics. After a while, the questions started to feel much more familiar. Thank you to my tutor and the TestPrep team.
Merve Yucel
After my first attempt, I wanted the second round of preparation to feel more organized. I started tracking the type of mistake, not just the number of questions I completed. Having the lesson move at my pace made the process feel much easier. I became much more careful with graphs, experiments and data-based questions. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster. I'm genuinely thankful to my tutor for being patient.
Antonia Caceres
The feedback I received on IGCSE Physics was clear and practical. My mock results gradually became more consistent.
James Tierney
Breaking IGCSE Physics into smaller pieces worked much better for me. Separating calculation errors from content gaps made revision more useful. My confidence improved along with the results.
Paolo Mendoza
My tutor could see my reasoning and usually found the source of an error quickly. I finally understood what was going wrong in IGCSE Physics. I left the exam feeling that I had done what I could. I'm glad I worked with my tutor through this process.
Onur Polat
The feedback I received on IGCSE Physics was clear and practical. Going back to the lesson recordings helped when I forgot a small step. Separating calculation errors from content gaps made revision more useful. My mock results gradually became more consistent. I left the exam feeling that I had done what I could. A big thank you to my tutor for all the support :)
Tahlia Hume
I was doing questions for IGCSE Physics on my own but never had a steady routine. After enough examples of the same question type, the repeated mistakes decreased. My confidence improved along with the results. It was an intense period, but it was worth it.
Miguel Villanueva
The lessons started being followed without constant reminders from us. Online lessons made it possible to continue without losing time on travel. We were pleased with the support we received.
